Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I'm very pleased with the changes we made today to the XM Satellite Radio car.  We
started with a good car and I think we've made it better.  We have another session to try and
improve and I still think we have a shot at the pole.  We didn't use our new tires in the second
session and a lot of guys did so we know we've got some speed that we haven't shown yet."
